Our Mission

Vision

We strive to follow a dynamic 21st century franchise model of public education, one that builds bridges to the economic mainstream for vulnerable students. By using an interdisciplinary and holistic approach to education, we encourage our students to forge connections between academic fields and their personal lives out in world at large.

Mission

Our mission is to create a public education system that is culturally responsive, that supports academic success, and which serves as a gateway to unlocking every child's unique gifts. Our curriculum fosters curiosity in our students and aspires to give them a sense of personal, financial and academic responsibility that they can carry with them throughout their lives. Regardless of a student’s socio-economic circumstance, we believe that a high-quality education should give students the ability to know and unlock their power for personal achievement.
